Fancy Radish

" Vegan restaurants that feel cozy and intimate aren't easy to find in the city, and that alone makes Fancy Radish a solid choice. While some vegan places rely heavily on meat substitutes, the H Street spot is all vegetables all the time, and even smells a bit like a garden when you walk through the door. Plant yourselves in the dimly lit dining room and share the rutabaga fondue with a pretzel bread that is the best thing on the menu. The fancy radishes and Peruvian potatoes are also decent options. Everything on the menu is $12-$20, so try ordering one of their unique cocktails (made with things like olive oil, yuzu, and kombucha) that taste like a liquid salad and pair well with all of the vegetables you’ll be eating." - Tristiana Hinton, Omnia Saed

"Rich and spicy dan dan noodles are then tossed with a tahini-based sauce for a glossy and intensely savory bite." - Alethea Tan

"There’s a reason why this spot is a local favorite. Fancy Radish’s flavorful and satisfying approach to vegan cuisine is put on full display here with this vegetarian-only menu." - Alethea Tan

"Richard Landau and Kate Jacoby bring a critically acclaimed vegan restaurant to the Atlas District, and they’re also the duo behind high-end Philadelphia restaurant Vedge and its casual counterpart, V Street. Favorites include a turmeric-spiced cauliflower, a zesty roasted carrot, and a Peruvian-style smoked potato causa." - Mekita Rivas

"Fancy Radish, D.C.’s polished place for creative vegan dishes, will close on Saturday, October 14 after a 5-year run." - Tierney Plumb
